you are going to run into 2 different problems here depending on the ac you are flying. if you use an ac with fuselage mounted guns its a little easier because its a "straight" shot so to speak. what you are shooting at is directly infront of you and you ONLY ( i say laughing) have to discover the deflection. so might be wiser to begin with one of those. 109 G6 is excellant so is a La 7. when you get into ac with wing mounted guns now you have factor in convergence like mr. pope said. the paths of the rounds from each wing will cross at a specific distance...kinda forming and X pattern. if you can place the ac you are after at the center of that X...then figure the deflection...you see it gets more complicated. likewise, if the convergence point is 200 meters (i believe this is true) and you are shooting at a plane 500 meters away...the bullets on both paths will go wide of their target. the faster the ac the more deflection you have to give. we got into a all 163 battle the other night and it was hard as hell to score a hit...the planes were just too darn fast. practice, practice, practice. the training missions are great for this. just pick a foe and attack from different angles and speeds. good luck.
